Lovely fresh morning here - 8.5c, windy.

BTW - October - one of my favorite months. Anything can happen really, sun, wind, rain, hail, snow.

Horrible morning. Cold, heavy showers and windy.

RoisinD

Some sun here this morning though the heavy showers are not too far away. Temp 10.4 but feels colder due to NW wind. Winds have subsided a little having been gusting to over 50mph during the night.

Mr Benevolent

Sunny and fresh here.

RoisinD

Heavy hailstone showers now. Wind increasing again.

arctictree

Just had a very heavy shower there. Temp dropped to 7.6c

I wonder will we see the first flakes of snow over the highest mountaintops during this cold spell over the next few days?

Blustery ol' day out there, nice for the 1st of October, very autumnal

I'm not jealous, no not me, I'd far rather be in work overnight.....
Still, it gives me a change to do up the weather league

In other news, its chilly outside, current temp 7.8°C

Danno

Lovely morning here with no clouds in sight after a windy night last night. The wind was moderate but persistant all through the day and eventually brought in the clouds with a light shower to boot. My daytime max was a mere 12.7c, however after midnight I recorded 13.6c. The low for the day so far is 8.6c, but is currently at 8.7c and falling. Funny thing the weather

There was a firmware update for the VP2 to eradicate this from happening.

Was a pleasant enough, if mostly cloudy and breezy, morning. Rain's been here for the last hour though. Much milder than yesterday - was at 15.4, now 14.3, after a max of only 12.2 yesterday.

It's a bit warmer this afternoon, breezy but bareable. Met have a warning of heavy showers for the south later this evening and the 12z gfs is backing this also.
